[Lucky]

That really is bad luck if it was Pauls one. He did everything as soon as it needed it with that car and it never let him down, even with the miles he does. I guess its just with the age of these cars, like any car, anything can go at any time. At least you know once these bits are done, you will have a good car that has genuinely been well looked after. Good luck with it mate. By the way, the 'scooby' thing to do is use any form of repair as and excuse to make it go faster!
